cai = cold air induction
cooler air is more dense, so for a given volume it has more oxygen. the more oxygen your engine can get the better it runs. so the cooler the air you can feed it the more power you can make.
the cai draws air from out side the engine bay, where the air is cooler. hence it makes more power.
not to mention most cai are less restrictive...the easier the air can be drawn into the engine the more power.
most cai kits run $200 or so...watch the "for sale" section...they sell for 1/2 that regularly.

Re: How much horsepower does a Moroso CAI add?
I've seen various magazine CAI tests, several of the different brands and they all seem to hit around 9-10 rwhp on a stock LT1. I don't recall seeing specific results for the Moroso however, but it's generally accepted as one of the better designs and they're all pretty similar anyway so I don't see why it would be any different.
